This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
contiguity
Pronounced: (kahn-ti-GYOO-ih-tee)
Noun:
1. the attribute of being so near as to be touching
2. the sequential occurrence or proximity of stimulus and response, causing their association in the mind
From Vocabulary: ”Contiguity shares a root with the more common contiguous, the Latin contingere, which means “to touch upon.”
Example:
“The contiguity of the lodge’s lot with a national park was an attractive selling point, as no further development would be permitted.”
